According to Grossi, Hall of Fame running back and former Cleveland player Jim Brown told a crowd at a luncheon in Cleveland on Tuesday that Lerner was interviewing someone who could turn around the team's bleak future.

"At this moment, right now Randy Lerner is meeting with one of the great football minds in this country," Brown said in remarks prior to and during the luncheon, according to the Plain Dealer report. "And if things work out, that person will come in to run the football side of the Browns."

Sign Up and Save

According to the report, Brown would not disclose who it was. When somebody asked if it was Mike Holmgren, Brown responded, "You said it ... and I heard it."

Also, the Seahawks made a minor roster move today, releasing running back Devin Moore from the practice squad and using the roster spot to add running back Xavier Omon. At 5-11, 220 pounds, Omon is a Northwest Missouri State product who was drafted in the sixth-round draft by the Buffalo Bills last season. He appeared in five games this season for Buffalo before being released last week.

Looks like the Seahawks are hoping Omon is a big back who can move the pile in short-yardage situations.
